Arthritis: Mind →Body - Neurophysiological Chain

 

Series - Science with Spirituality- Blog3/5

Mind: Negative Perception & Repetitive Thought

• External trigger: difficult circumstances (financial stress, lack of recognition, social burden).
• Internal thought: “I am unable to move forward in life as I wish.”
• With repetition, this becomes a Repetitive Internal Dominant Focus (IDF) — the mind keeps looping on limitation and immobility.

2. Subconscious Filter: Acceptance of Limitation

• The subconscious accepts this thought-frequency as truth.
• Synapses in stress-related circuits (amygdala, hippocampus, prefrontal cortex) reinforce the negative pattern.
• Over time, neural plasticity strengthens the “immobility” pathway.

3. Neurotransmitter Imbalance: Stress Circuits

• Chronic stress reduces dopamine and serotonin, lowering motivation and mood.
• Excess glutamate and norepinephrine heighten stress reactivity.
• GABA (the calming neurotransmitter) becomes suppressed, leading to tension.

4. Hypothalamic Activation: Neuro-Endocrine Link

• The hypothalamus detects the “threat” from these repeated signals.
• It activates the HPA axis (Hypothalamus–Pituitary–Adrenal system

5. Hormonal Response: Cortisol Release

• The pituitary signals the adrenal glands to release cortisol.
• In acute stress, cortisol is protective.
• In chronic stress, persistent cortisol release causes immune dysregulation.

6. Immune Activation: Inflammatory Pathways

• Cortisol imbalance alters immune cell signaling.
• The immune system mistakenly triggers inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α).
• These cytokines target connective tissues, cartilage, and synovial linings of joints.

7. Physical Manifestation: Arthritis

• Inflammation sets into joint capsules (hands, knees, hips).
• Cartilage breakdown occurs over time.
• The patient experiences pain, stiffness, swelling, and restricted mobility.

✨ Summary Flow

Repetitive IDF (“I cannot move forward”) → Synaptic filtering → Neurotransmitter imbalance → HPA axis activation → Cortisol dysregulation → Immune inflammation → Joint damage → Arthritis.

In clinical version - 

1. External Circumstance
   
• Difficult situations (financial stress, lack of recognition, overwhelming responsibilities).

✨ Body mirrors subconscious truth: “If I cannot move forward in life, I cannot move freely in body.”

To heal arthritis or cope with arteries , this belief has to be changed with cognitive consent .

Important Note on Triggers

External factors such as allergens, infections, pollution, deficiencies, or physical stressors are often cited as causes of disease. However, they do not create the same reactions in every individual. According to the present model, these external triggers only lead to chronic dysfunction when the neurophysiological chain is already primed by a negative Internal Dominant Focus (IDF) that resonates with the organ’s emotional function. Without this subconscious resonance, the body can often neutralize the trigger without developing disease.

Equally important is the role of healing: when the neurophysiological cause is addressed through mindfulness, positive reinforcement, regression therapy, or other methods that shift the Internal Dominant Focus toward positivity, the disease can gradually resolve. In such cases, medicines and alternative therapies also work more effectively, as the underlying vibrational frequency is no longer reinforcing the dysfunction.

• Arthritis: Nutritional deficiencies or aging may affect joints, but chronic arthritis arises when the IDF “I cannot move forward” resonates with the joints. Mindfulness and regression therapy can reframe this into “I move freely in life,” reducing inflammation and enhancing medical treatment outcomes.

Emotions Are Binary Electric Signals with Vibrations & Frequencies

Blog  2 /5 - series - Science with Spirituality 

Every emotion has an electrically charged signal engrained which travels through the synapses to neurons in energy circuits , called neuropathways in the subconscious mind. Repeated intense emotions are more electrically charged and get attached to neurons as data - base of experience, values and beliefs.

 Every signal which sense organs receive is not just an electrical impulse—it also carries a vibrational frequency. This frequency determines whether the signal will be experienced as uplifting and positive or draining and negative. In neon-seconds, that frequency is translated into brain chemistry, neurotransmitters and hormonal release, affecting organ function.

Signal Reception with Vibrational Frequency

The sense organs detect a stimulus (sight, sound, touch, smell, thought) and convert it into an electric signal carrying vibrational frequency.

• Every signal has a vibrational frequency which must match the frequency of beliefs, values, and perceptions already stored in the body. It also has to match the present internal dominant focus ( IDF ) of the body or its rejected . For example, if you talk spirituality with an atheist it’s rejected as his beliefs say that it does not exist . Only that information is absorbed in the long term memory which exists in some matching frequency already in the person’s mind . Whenever a new piece of information is sent , it can be conflicted within the body and rejected unless it can seep through the filters which happens when energy conduits can be cracked through intensified impact eg . An authority figure commanding obedience , loud noises as in advertisements , a self help book increasing awareness,  a spiritual guide speaking softly so that synapses relax and a cognitive process is awakened for inner change with cognitive awareness. 
• These stored patterns act as filters. Eg. values, beliefs, schemas of experiences eg. it was a conflict when electricity was invented on how to use lamps vs bulbs . A huge fight occurs internally and externally when you attempt to replace an old schema for a new schema . Hence, people resist change as their internal neurological base does not accept it unless it is repeated with guidance they trust and proves to be positive over time. For eg. Bringing in electricity was a huge fight externally and internally as all lamp owners lost business. All sleep patterns changed and tradition lost its hold internally . Finally, electricity was accepted as positive. 
• Understanding that as a consciousness ,you are a bulb that can be lit from inside and not a puppet controlled by the outside world is another huge fight within yourself . Feeling yourself as a victim makes you rage , fight and spread violence or wars . It harms you internally as you can never be happy when angry in your iDF . The IDF of anxiety has to be converted to a IDF of peace for problems to be solved in the long run or they recur . That is why therapy is expensive. Meditation takes a long time and effort . But both help in transcending inner negativity to positivity so that you perceive information you never saw before which can help you be more positive. 

Cognitive psychology has long recognized the limits of human information processing. Miller’s (1956) seminal paper on the “magical number seven, plus or minus two” proposed that of the millions of sensory inputs received every second (estimates range from 2 to 11 million bits), only about 7 (±2) “chunks” of information can be consciously processed in working memory. More recent research suggests this limit may be closer to 4 chunks (Cowan, 2001), yet the principle remains: the brain accepts only a very small fraction of incoming information. 

Reference : Shiva Swati -Emotioonal Energy Management (2017)

For example, you can only focus on 4-5 things usually at one time which are chosen by your priority from within not randomly.

Extending this framework, the present model proposes that only signals which generate an emotional charge—electricity in motion—are absorbed by the subconscious mind. In other words, for information to pass through the synaptic filter into long-term storage, it must resonate with the vibrational frequency of the individual’s IDF and evoke a feeling. Purely cognitive or neutral thoughts, without emotional frequency, rarely integrate into long-term memory. For example, 90% of school learning is forgotten , as research says . Only what you need remains . You imitate parents than obey their preaching . Visual- sensory learning matters more in the subconscious mind than words which constitute only 7 percent of transmitted information . 

This principle is supported by neuroscience: emotion enhances memory consolidation. The amygdala plays a critical role in modulating the hippocampus during emotional learning, ensuring that events associated with strong positive or negative emotions are more likely to be remembered (McGaugh, 2004; LaBar & Cabeza, 2006). Stress hormones such as cortisol also influence the strength and durability of memory traces, further confirming that information accompanied by emotional arousal is preferentially encoded.

Synaptic Filtering & Frequency Matching

When the signal reaches the synapse, the subconscious compares its frequency with existing patterns.

• If there is a match, the signal is accepted and sent forward.
• The signal is then transmitted to an existing neuron of the same frequency, reinforcing that pathway.
• If there is no match, the signal is ignored or weakened.

This explains why different people can experience the same event differently: each filters the signal through their own stored vibrational map of beliefs and values. ( Shiva Swati:  Creation of Happiness, The Energy War , 2016)

3. 

Neuron Activation & Neurotransmitters

Once matched, the neuron fires an action potential.

• Ions flow (sodium, potassium, calcium) → neurotransmitters are released.
• Positive frequency → serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin dominate.
• Negative frequency → glutamate, norepinephrine, cortisol-linked messengers dominate.

4. 

HPA Axis: Frequency Translated into Hormones

Neural signals activate the hypothalamus and pituitary, which stimulate the adrenal glands (HPA axis).

• High-frequency signals → balanced hormone release (growth, repair, calm).
• Low-frequency signals → chronic cortisol and stress hormones.

5. 

Organ-Specific Targeting

Hormones carry the message to the organ responsible for the function of the dominant emotion.

• “I cannot move forward” → stress directed to joints (movement organs).
• “I feel suffocated” → stress directed to lungs (breathing organs).
• “I carry too much burden” → stress directed to spine/back (support organs).

6. 

Physical Manifestation

• Positive vibrational frequencies enhance immunity, digestion, sleep, and vitality.
• Negative vibrational frequencies direct inflammation to specific organs, creating disease.

✨ Core Insight

Signal → Vibrational Frequency → Synapse (Frequency Filter) → Matching Neuron → Neurotransmitter → Action Potential → HPA Axis → Hormones → Organ Function → Health or Disease

🌿 Every signal has a frequency. Only when it matches the body’s stored beliefs and values is it allowed through—and this is how repetitive Internal Dominant Focus (IDF) turns thoughts and emotions into physical reality

Note for external trigger :

Depression: Stress and chemical imbalances do not always cause depression unless reinforced by the IDF “I am hopeless.” Shifting this through therapy and positive practices enables neurotransmitters and hormones to rebalance, supporting recovery alongside medication.
